I’m a writer and historian who looks at the relationship between science and society. I specialise in the history and philosophy of science, particularly the history of scientific racism and eugenics, and what those histories mean for our lives today. For nine years, I was Curator of the Science Collections at University College London where I was also Researcher in Critical Eugenics at the Sarah Parker Remond Centre for the Study of Racism and Racialisation. I’ve written and presented podcasts, curated museum exhibitions, done stand-up comedy and have appeared on radio and tv. My first book, Uncivilised: Ten Lies That Made The West, was published in 2024.
